Am I at risk?

The incidence of the disease is apparently largely confined to post menopausal women with 90% of cases occuring in the over 45s. It is more than twice as common in women who have never had children. There are some genetic links in a very small number of women, about 5% of cases.  It may be more likely in women who have had endometriosis.
